JAKARTA - Saudi Arabia-rich clubs have wooed a number of Barcelona players to play in the Pro League. Front players Raphinha and Ferran Torres were targeted by Arab clubs.

Lastly, striker Robert Lewandowski is the target. This is the second time Lewandowski has received an offer to play in the Middle East.
